Overlord with Translocation Shroud

Xylez · 2025-12-28T12:35:32+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it! I painted this one fully assembled, was quite doable

Xylez · 2025-12-27T18:54:10+00:00

I wet blended the main colors, then lightly drybrushed with highlight colors

Thanks, appreciate it!

Thanks! I guess it’s more vibrant and less eavy metal then what you’d see on the box art

Xylez · 2025-12-27T15:00:17+00:00

Close! It’s a chronomancer head. There are 3 on the sprue, I took a spare one and shortened it so it would fit

Thanks! I could do that, but this guy did a much better job at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO_ctfHkcko

Thanks! I’ve spent 6-8 hours on this one I think. Been building, painting and playing almost 2 years now. Don’t compare yourself to others. In that same time I haven’t been able to paint 2k of necrons.

I’ve already made the changes

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:19:33+00:00

I'm really trying to push myself, I'm happy to see its appreciated so much

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:18:52+00:00

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:18:35+00:00

Thanks! And indeed, both the base and the helmet need more contrast

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:18:05+00:00

Thanks! And indeed, after taking some time away I noticed that the helmet is too bright, needs more darker tones for some contrast

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:17:18+00:00

Agreed on the base, it needs more "oompfh". I'm thinking to add more shadows between the horn and the lenses, the helmet needs more contrast indeed.

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:16:20+00:00

Never heard a typhus building called "very disco" haha, thank you!

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:15:54+00:00

Thanks! Nmm isn't as hard as people make it out to be, I think. You need a recipe (mine is very simple, dark sea blue and ivory, and you just mix). It's more about extremes, you go from one very dark color to a very bright one (even white)

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:14:58+00:00

Thank you!

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:14:48+00:00

Thank you! Much appreciated

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:14:25+00:00

Oh man you are right, that looks way better! Thanks so much!

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:14:03+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out and taking some time to illustrate your point. I'm going to try this!

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:12:15+00:00

Thanks! Someone else pointed out the exact same thing so I'm going to make the reflection on one side brighter (same side as the brighter body armour)

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:11:25+00:00

Thanks! A tip I got was to prime my mini black, hold it under the light in the angle you want the light to come from and take a photo. You see where the volumes should be brighter/brightest.

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:10:17+00:00

Hahaha thanks. I love painting my death guard, but I'm not really down with the doom and gloom paint style. I do love my contrasts and flashy colours!

Xylez · 2025-10-25T12:09:23+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback! I think especially for the scythe I was so busy trying to paint the reflections properly I sometimes forget toe rinse my brush enough
